We believe neonatal nurses have a responsibility to carry out a high standard of individualised care for preterm, sick and recovering newborn infants within a family centred philosophy.
We believe neonatal nursing should have a national focus with standards for clinical practice, research and education.
We believe there should be active collaboration and representation between ACNN members, other professional associations, particularly those involved with perinatal care, and clinical and academic institutions.
The Australian College of Neonatal Nurses' provides direction and leadership for neonatal nurses thereby enhancing their professional development within the speciality.
